Golden Days

Golden Days sits at 6922 E Edgemont St in Tucson, AZ, as a board and care home where seniors find help with daily living, enjoy a warm meal, and have plenty of activities for all kinds of interests and abilities, and the place welcomes both short-term respite guests and long-term residents, offering different kinds of care including assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing, so folks who need a little help with bathing, dressing, transfers, or medication, or even those with more complex needs like non-ambulatory, diabetic, and incontinence care, can get what's needed under one roof. The staff at Golden Days, known for being warm, helpful, joyful, and kind, really do work hard to make everyone feel at home, with caregivers who know each resident well and keep a warm, friendly environment, and family members can have their own keys to visit when they like, which is handy and feels more like home than some big place with lots of rules and set schedules. There's 24-hour supervision, so somebody's always around, and the place gives plenty of personal care, from assistance with meals-including special diets or diabetes restrictions-to medication management, plus housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, and residents stay in fully furnished rooms while staff takes care of the cleaning and linens. You'll find a dining room offering scheduled meals and all-day dining options, including allergy-friendly and special menus, and the meals here have even won awards for their quality, which is worth mentioning when some places don't do as well with food. The community is pet-friendly, allowing dogs and cats, and it's set up for wheelchairs, too, so mobility isn't an issue, plus there's transportation for doctor visits and outings, with parking for those family members who still drive or want to stop by. When it comes to activities, Golden Days keeps a lively schedule, which includes interactive music classes, daily programs, craft days, movie nights, manicure sessions, walking paths, a garden, and plenty of chances to socialize-with efforts to keep everyone engaged both physically and mentally, which is good for morale and overall well-being. For seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, there's round-the-clock care with memory-enhancing programs and a dedicated care team offering support and stability, while those needing rehabilitation or help with wounds get full nursing services. The staff speaks English and works with each resident's doctor or healthcare provider to make sure everyone's needs get met, whether that means help with a simple task or more complex medical issues, and the place is managed by Ms. Dae Guthrie as Owner and Ms. Veronica Rios as Assistant Manager, with Dae's Golden Days, Inc. overseeing operations. Golden Days tries to build a caring community where people laugh, create, and make friends, and that's about as much as anyone could hope for in retirement, plus with Grace Management's focus on graceful aging, residents get a blend of independence and support surrounded by programs that encourage healthy living and a sense of belonging.
